58 FLRA No. 127
U. S. Dept. of the Army, U. S. Army Signal Center and Fort Gordon, Fort Gordon, Georgia and AFGE, Local 2017 (Cornelius, Arbitrator)0-AR-3508 (Decided May 2, 2003)
The grievance alleged that the Agency violated the parties' collective bargaining agreement and an Agency regulation by dispatching fire trucks to fires with only two firefighters aboard, rather than four as required by the regulation. The Arbitrator found that the Agency violated the regulation as alleged.
The Authority found that the award excessively interfered with management's right to determine its internal security practices, and therefore contrary to law under § 7122(a)(1) of the Statute. The award was set it aside.
